Mogami 2921 vs Canare 4s11 vs ???


My goal is to build new cables that I will use for the next 15 years, no matter what speakers I have, but I don't want to spend money that will force me to get a 2nd mortgage..  My current speakers are 4 Ohm so my thought is I need at least 12 gauge - 10 gauge wire.  I am planning to replace my AudioQuest Type 4 speaker wire in my home theater with Canare 4s11 until I found Canare 4s11g, unfortunately you can't buy Canare 4s11g, at least I couldn't find it for sale.  So I began looking at other speaker wire and  Mogami speaker cable appeared.  There are several choices, the 3104, 3103, 2921 are a few.them. Most of the ink is on Mogami 3104 speaker wire and it is highly regarded. I noticed Mogami 2921, 4 conductors of 14 gauge wire appeared to be exactly like the Canare 4s11, except the Mogami copper wire is OFC.  My question for the experts who support this forum are:  Is the Mogami 2921 as good or better than the Canare 4s11?  Should I continue to search for Canare 4s11g cable or just be happy with the 4s11? Should I expand my budget and use one of the Mogami flavors (3104, 3103, 2921)  wire?  Should I stop the search for wire and just purchase 10 -12 gauge OFC wire and end the analysis paralysis?

If the DIY speaker wire build goes well I am sure I will replace my Monster cable stereo connections with new cables and connectors, but first things first..... the speakers need new connections.  Any and all feedback is welcomed.

@digsmithd,

What is your problem with the break in? That is how long it took and that is also what I was told by Canare.  I knew someone would scoff at my statement, congratulations. 

Agreed!!!...it took all of at least 500 for me before bass and soundstage settled in...you got the wrong read on my statement..."that read yahman/meant ya man"...not "yeah right?"

Oh and theres no problem here fwiw.

For the small additional cost I would sure recommend that you go with a company like Blue Jeans Cable who can professionally weld the terminations to the cable. They sell Canare 4S11 as one of their options. The connections between the cable and the terminators is critical.

@digsmithd,

Wow, I read your response wrong and I thought it meant something else.  Thank you for clarifying it and my apologies for the misunderstanding.

No problem brother...i get it.Not easy these days to get the read on peoples statements sometimes...all good here,thx!
